Skyfall

.

This is the end,

The end of an era,

The future is waiting

Just around the bend

J’irais – ou plutôt je voudrais aller là – où tu iras

If ever you find yourself crying

My shoulder I will lend

For I wish nothing

But to be your faithful knight,

Oh how I wish we were a thing

And to hold you dearly at night.

But I can hear the bell

Ringing in the distance, far,

The end of an epoch, this epoch…

Oh my dear do not feel bad, even I can tell

That we are who we are,

The hand has gone around the clock

And upon this eleventh hour

My one and only desire

Is to face eye to eye

My destiny and not cower,

As the fingers of the Moirai

Take out the flames of this fire.

I am not dead,

I shall not die, I will survive,

No matter if our thread

Is cut shorter, my hope will thrive;

I know nothing of what will come

But a blind man I will still run

Where to or even where from

I know not, but isn’t it fun?

I cannot say that I am fine,

I cannot say if I will be,

Whatever happens we will see

Perhaps may even come a sign,

All in all I am not sad

I’d rather say melancholy,

Perhaps indeed it is just as bad

That I bask in it wholly,

Though who can stop me from myself

Apart from me?

I will not sit eternally on this shelf

In the silence and the dust,

Mais pour le moment restons amis;

I swear, despite my brave words, that I can feel my heart slightly rust…

.


Hmmm. ♪

Can’t help falling

.

The sages say

Only idiots

Do blindly dash

Towards their goal,

Run all the way,

Non-initiates

Who might soon crash

And lose control.

But what sane mind

Would open heart

And soul alike

With no restraints

To the same kind?

Only through art

Can others hike

Through what love taints…

.

Rhythm of the beating drum

.

In this atmosphere I feel

Like a young man at the heel

Of a gigantic mountain,

Beautiful under the sky;

Of nothing I am certain

Only that I wish to try.

In this unknown maze of star

Lost in a wild sea of smiles,

I will walk farther than far,

I will cross a thousand miles,

Centuries may come and go

Before the answer to this

Great, old riddle I may know;

What, in that time, will I miss?

In my heart I know the truth

But I shall not cut the root

Of this tree yet, for my youth

Is still green and my hope strong,

I await the promised fruit,

I want to witness it bloom

Even were I to be wrong,

Even were it my own doom.

I will smile and laugh and dance

Under sun and wind and rain,

Oh I am sure of my stance

Whatever may come, sweet pain…

.


Hega hega ya-hi-ye-hega
Ya-hi-ye-ne-he hega

Be hope

.

But is it true?

Oh forever

In love with you,

For an instant

Cool my fever

– Melancholy –

Of how distant,

Or even if;

This, my folly.

You are perfect,

Upon a cliff

Of true respect;

Free from all fear,

You so, my dear?

.

A wish

.

I want it all

I want it now

I want to fall

And just allow

Myself to sink

In this deep pool

No more to think

Of when or how…

I am a fool,

That much I know:

You deserve wow

And so much more

But can I show

That I adore…

.

Up is down and down is up

.

Oh up is down and down is up,

There is no darkness without light

Not a struggle without a fight

When you are but a newborn pup,

The world is spinning all around

Keeping your feet firm on the ground

Only, you yearn to touch the sun,

You yearn to live, to laugh, to run,

Only, you learn to look away

You learn to give, take half a way

Oh, up is down and down is up

How simple is this small mix-up

Like left is right and right is left,

How have you not ever noticed

That the reason so long practiced

Was truly this world’s greatest theft…

.

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

.

I hate your bright, warm smile,

Oh I hate your loud laugh

And the way your voice sings

When I make stupid jokes,

I hate the way you gaze

At me from time to time,

I hate that you see through

Me even if you don’t,

I hate the way you play

Thoughtlessly with your hair,

I hate your joyous smile

And your grandiose dreams,

I hate your cute freckles

And the blue of your eyes,

I hate that you are close

And yet so far away,

I hate this strange feeling

I get, staring at you,

I hate the way you are,

I hate the way I am,

But most and above all

I hate that I do not…

The Book of the Damned, chapter 8, verse 5.

Garderem

.

De ces mots le vrai sens

Tu ne connaîtras point,

Reflets de mon essence,

Je les cache avec soin

Par myriades d’images

Que jamais je n’émonde,

Tel un sorcier, un mage,

Façonnant ce grand monde;

Dans mon esprit, le corps

Est sculpté sans défaut

Mais son coeur dort encore

Et son rythme bat faux,

Cependant je me perds

En méandres obscures

Sans même un seul repère,

Que je ne me torture?

“Ô, pourquoi ne renonçes

Tu à cette folie?”

Entends-je bien souvent

Ceux-là m’interroger

Et pour toute réponse :

“N’est-elle pas jolie ?

Et le chemin devant

Point qu’à son périgée ?”

.


Ouais, ouais, pas grandement qualitatif ce soit…

The poet

.

The poet stands over the desk filled with paper

He stares into the worlds that he has created.

Has he lost all control, were his efforts wasted?

If you gaze long enough what will become later?

Slowly, relentlessly, an unsure, steady hand

Carves out beautiful truths that slowly come to life

But my dear reader can you really understand

The power she holds over him, this jealous wife?

.

Gun

.

I thought this was the end

But it has just begun,

Now, in each hand a gun,

A message I must send…

There is no time to wait

For vengeance does not rest,

To some it might come late

But patience is its test;

Let us ride forth now, boys,

Death thirsts for fresh new blood

And we are but its toys

Riding upon the flood.
